Entry for July 21, 2008
Yes, I have been neglecting the Paul blog this summer, but it my defense, there is quality time that needs to be spent poolside while it's 95 degrees outside. Also I'm trying not to spread all the rumors that are floating around out there about PLN's health and taking the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy. And all the news hits that come through each day all relate to the same rumors. So we'll just sit over here and wait until this whole brouhaha dies down. But! Came across this tidbit today: (can't wait to see a picture of the helmet!)
NEWMAN'S OWN: To honour legendary actor, philanthropist and IndyCar Series team co-owner Paul Newman, driver Graham Rahal came up with a special helmet paint scheme.
The helmet, created by helmet designer Troy Lee, features playing-card size renditions of the movie posters from some of Newman's most famous films, including "The Sting," "The Hustler," "Cool Hand Luke" and "Slap Shot."
Rahal said the artwork was something, "You'll never see again."
Someone also had the bright idea to put the helmet up for auction on eBay, with proceeds going to the Hole in the Wall Camps that Newman created and which are supported by the Newman's Own line of food products.
"My mom is involved in the Hole in the Wall Camps," said Rahal, son of Indy 500-winning driver and team co-owner Bobby Rahal. "We can auction it (the helmet) off and see how much it goes for."
